What we do

In a world that values winning, L’Arche Communities are places where people with and without learning disabilities can discover who they are and not just what they can do.

L'Arche in the UK

There are twelve L’Arche Communities in the UK. In each of our Communities we offer high quality, person-centred support for adults with learning disabilities.

Tom's story

'L’Arche houses are brilliantly eclectic and that is a large part of what makes working in them so much fun.'

Summer in the Forest

Summer in the Forest is a full-length feature film about our founder Jean Vanier and the L’Arche communities in Trosly, France and Bethlehem. It tells how two L’Arche communities, though quite different from those in the UK, share our common values.
